When I was looking to hire vendors for our big day, I was looking for experience, I wanted the best, and I wanted vendors that made the planning process easy, not more difficult. You get that AND more when you hire Mandy. Mandy (and Jackie P- f...
or hair) made each one of us girls feel like our most authentic beautiful selves. Out of 10+ ladies that needed services, every single one of them had nothing but rave reviews for how Mandy made them look AND feel! Mandy is professional, she's committed (rain and snow, she still showed up), and she knows what she is doing! I'd hire her again and again!
Mandy did the makeup for the bridal party & close family at my brother’s wedding last month, and she was INCREDIBLE! Everyone was so happy with their makeup, and she put a lot of effort to make sure everyone’s final “face” matched the look the...
y wanted. She listened to specific requests/concerns regarding makeup and made sure to address them. My new sister-in-law’s makeup was perfect for a bride and for photos—very natural, timeless, and smooth. I wish my own makeup on my wedding day (before I knew of Mandy!) had been that perfect!
Not only is Mandy extremely talented, but she also has a great personality. She was fun to talk to and got to know a little bit about everyone, which made her seem genuinely invested in the wedding/day. It was a nice experience and she made us all feel so beautiful! She even gave me makeup tips to use on my own. If you are looking for a makeup artist for any occasion where you want to feel gorgeous, I cannot recommend Mandy enough!
I hired Mandy as the Mother of the groom to do my hair and makeup. The bride had hired another service and I was worried that with 10 bridesmaids and the bride there would not be enough time. What a good choice on my part. Three of the bridesm...
aids decided to use Mandy also. Day of wedding when I got to my daughter in laws house she met me with complete frustration with the salon she had hired for her. They were overdoing the makeup and several bridesmaids had to wipe some off She asked me if it would be possible for Mandy to do her makeup instead. Many is pure professional!!! She was so gracious and saw the lack of professionalism in the other artist. She ended up doing the bride and another bridesmaid. The other salon artist had double booked that day and ended up leaving early asking f Mandy if she could do the other bridesmaids—- and they had already paid. So Unprofessional on their party. I cannot say enough about Mandy’s graciousness and calmness and accommodating the whole situation. Her makeup is natural looking and it lasted all day into the night. I could go on and on. Her desire is your special day be just that. Special and she will make you feel just that way. You will not be disappointed!! Thank you Thank you Thank you Mandy. You went above and beyond!!
Amanda did my makeup and some of my bridesmaids makeup for my wedding. we all loved it. Her style is very natural and I loved that. She’s super friendly, approachable and replies to emails. She asks for looks you may want to give her an idea o...
f your makeup goals. If you like more makeup she can do that for you without making you look like a diva clown.
I’m so thankful for the wonderful experience she gave all of us.
From the moment I saw Mandy's makeup and hair profile, I knew I wanted to book her for my wedding. She was extremely responsive via email and text. The trial was great, I felt like hanging out with friends getting hair and makeup done by her an...
d Jackie. Not only did they do a great job with my hair and makeup but they managed to please my mom. She wanted glitter and volume everywhere, which of course was not the look we were going for. After she saw herself in pictures, she was so happy to trust in Mandy and Jackie's experience and keep her looking wonderfully glam. I recommend Mandy to anyone getting married in the near future. Thank you so much for making this a wonderful experience!
She is amazing, reliable, understandable! You will not regret booking with her. She truly met all my needs I wanted and felt amazing on my wedding day. Not to mention so many people commented on how amazing my make up looked!
Mandy was so so amazing! She came to our airbnb and was so timely and efficient. She was so easy to talk to and I enjoyed being around her on my special day. Mandy did a fantastic job not making my makeup extreme, but more natural, which I was ...
going for. She made me feel so beautiful! Thank you so much for such an amazing experience!!
Mandy is amazing. She did my wedding make up, all my bridesmaids, and the moms. She did 7 people all by herself day of. Her work is amazing and she was so helpful along the way. I rarely wear a lot of make up but she made it look natural while ...
still lasting through wedding festivities! I’m indecisive and she was so understanding and accommodating. I absolutely recommend her for all your professional make up needs!!
Amanda is SO amazing! She is so sweet and did the best job for my wedding makeup! I had 6 bridesmaids get their makeup done and all of them LOVED what she did! She is so fun and made the experience so easy! Highly recommend 🥰
Mandy and Jackie were ready to go the moment I arrived to the venue. They were both so calming, friendly, and super quick to get me ready! I couldn't be happier with the way I looked and felt. I am not someone who typically wears a lot of makeu...
p or does a ton to her hair. Mandy and Jackie nailed a beautiful, non-fussy look I did not have to worry about at all. My hair and make-up lasted for hours through sweat and happy tears (and there were a lot of both - mostly sweat). My make-up and curls did not budge until I washed everything away at the end of the night. I would highly recommend Mandy and Jackie to any bride!
I was on the fence about hiring a makeup artist for my wedding and so much on the fence that I didn’t pull the trigger until 2 months before our big day. Luckily Amanda had availability and worked with me on trials and planning. I went in to my...
trial not knowing what I wanted but Amanda was patient and kept adjusting until I was happy with my final look. She even made room for me in her schedule to come back and re-do my hair trial because I wasn’t happy with it the first time around (pro tip: don’t wash your hair day of..)
On my wedding day my eye swelled up massively and in turn I had a full on breakdown. Amanda kept ice on my eye and worked her magic and all I can say is wow!! This girl works miracles! I felt like an absolute princess and would re-hire her in a heartbeat!
So flexible, personable and sweet. I felt like I was getting ready with my best friends!
Mandy and Jackie were so awesome. They were able to travel to me last minute for my Lake Tahoe elopement. Thanks ladies!
I had a few trials I was unhappy with but I found Amanda on instagram and I was obsessed! She was so down to earth, friendly and listened to exactly what I wanted.
I would highly recommend. She’s very friendly and professional. Easy to communicate with.
Mandy was amazing! She did my makeup, 4 of my bridesmaids, my mother and even my grandmother. Everyone looked stunning and Mandy kept a calm and collected manner throughout the process - even when everyone and their brother decided to roll thro...
ugh our Air BnB as the bridal party was getting ready. I would highly recommend booking Mandy! Nothing but great things to say about her and her work.
Response from the Vendor on 07/30/2021
Thanks girl!!!
We were so absolutely lucky that Amanda was able to accommodate us with such short notice. It was literally one day's notice and she made it work! We needed both hair and makeup done for a wedding. They were brilliant, lovely and just so profes...
sional. They responded quickly and made us feel like family. This bit was very important to me. Getting ready would set the stage for the day and having someone that is nice is important. We were so absolutely lucky (again) that Amanda was not only nice, but so very sweet. They really put the bride at ease! This whole experience could not have been any better. It was perfect. And there were so many compliments from the guests about how beautiful everything was. I highly recommend their services to anyone looking for high quality, wonderful, and friendly artists!
Mandy did an amazing job. I have had professionals do my make up at least 10 times and hands down Mandy is number 1. She is well versed in the products she uses and knows how to listen to what the client is wanting. I am so glad I chose her for...
my wedding day! I would highly recommend her, and FYI, she knows hair people so don’t let that deter you.
Response from the Vendor on 04/29/2021
Aww thank you so much! Jackie and I were so blessed to send the morning with you and your family.
You will not regret working with Mandy. She's talented, passionate, responsive and just made the whole process so easy. She took so much of the stress away of getting my bridesmaids and I ready. Thank you so much!
I can’t say enough wonderful things. Amanda was on time, fun to chat with, and made me and my wedding party so comfortable. She made everyone feel beautiful and they all looked naturally stunning. So glad I found her! I definitely recommend her...
. Thank you, thank you Mandy!
Amanda did such an amazing job with my makeup for my wedding. I have had makeup done as a bridesmaid before and ended up leaving feeling like I had way too much makeup on, but with Amanda, I felt like a refined version of myself and I loved it!...
On my wedding day, she did makeup for myself, 4 bridesmaids, and my mom and everyone was so happy with how their makeup turned out. She also works quickly which I totally appreciate! She got all 6 of us done in about 4.5 hours, and yet no one felt rushed. Thank you again, Amanda!
What a great experience working with Mandy for my wedding last week. I like having my make up done but I am uncomfortable with a LOT of makeup. So I did my trial first and it went really great. When the big day came she was early and ready to...
go. I had all my bridal party done as well and we all looked natural glam! I made some small modifications from my trial and I think she nailed exactly what I wanted. I felt done up for my wedding but not overdone which in my opinion is hard to find. Even my sister who does not wear makeup was comfortable with her makeup. Big win right there.
Book her! You won't regret it!
Amanda did such amazing makeup for my wedding. She was so easy to work with and was even willing to travel 2+ hours for me and my small bridal party. She listened to our specific wants and needs and produced such outstanding looks for all of us...
. Not only does she create beauty, but she’s really an amazing person to talk to and have on your wedding team. Thank you again Amanda!
Amanda is very professional in handling her business and her dedication shows in her work! After my trial I was feeling great, although not used to wearing a full face. Amanda reassured me that my wedding makeup would look natural, just a littl...
e extra. My wedding day came, when my makeup was finished I again felt a little not myself. Amanda asked if she could adjust anything to make me feel more comfortable. I described how I liked my brows and little different and she changed them. And bam!! I felt amazing!!! I would definitely recommend Amanda to anyone looking for a professional and fun makeup artist!!
I have nothing but good things to say about my experience with beautiful Mandy from start to finish! I was looking for a professional, detailed, caring & enthusiastic makeup artist and that's exactly what I got with her and more. She made every...
thing very understandable and comfortable for me. We had an amazing makeup trial before my big day and I instantly knew she was perfect, everything from her personality to her makeup skills. She TRULY wants to give you exactly what you are looking for and is also patient and sweet along the way. Mandy, YOU ARE THE BEST & I'm so thankful I found you for the most important day of my life. xoxo
Mandy was amazing! She did my makeup and my 2 bridesmaids. She customized her application to what would look good on each of us and what we wanted. She made me feel beautiful on my special day! She is also very knowledgeable about all the d...
ifferent brands on the market and made some recommendations that were perfect. Mandy is very professional and personable. You will be very happy with her services!
Response from the Vendor on 01/10/2018
Thank you so much for the kind words Karla. It was great spending your special day with you. :)
Amanda was very friendly and helpful! She did my makeup for my fall engagement shoot. I didn't really have an idea of what I wanted my makeup to look like but once I showed Amanda a picture of my dress she was very knowledgeable of what would l...
ook good in my pictures. I can't wait to work with her again for my trial and wedding day!
Response from the Vendor on 01/10/2018
Yayy thanks girl!! I cant wait to work with you again!!
If you are reading this review to see if you should book Amanda then I will tell you right now, DO IT! I found Amanda by looking up vendors on The Knot and then stalked her social media for a minute to see her work. She definitely needs to post...
more of her work because she has a great talent. Not only for makeup and making people look beautiful but she is very calm and makes people feel comfortable. She brought in extra help since we were on a tight time schedule (very important to stay on time, brides!) and Genna was just as amazing. All of my bridesmaids and mother looked beautiful and the best thing was everyone's makeup lasted the whole night. Included in her fees was false eyelashes for every person and a little gift for the bride (I've use my compact mirror everyday)! Book Amanda, you will not be disappointed. Cheers!
I cant began to thank Amanda enough for making me feel so beautiful on my wedding day. She was able to deliver exactly what I asked from her. My makeup lasted all night through the heat and all the dancing I did.
She was professional, knowledg...
eable and talented. She arrived on time and had myself and all my girls ready with time to spare. The morning went so smoothly.
Thank you again Amanda :)
I want to say thank you so much to Amanda. She was so friendly and professional every step of the way. I was nervous but she made me feel so comfortable and talked everything over with me during our trial. She traveled all the way to my venue t...
o glam myself, bridesmaids and mother. We were finished on time and all looked beautiful. I cant thank her enough or say enough good things about her.
Amanda was amazing on my wedding day! She recreated everything I asked for from my makeup trial. She was fun, upbeat and my girls loved her. She made us all look beautiful and listened to all our different requests. I suggest Amanda to everyone...
I know!!
Thank you!!!!!!!!
Amanda did an absolute amazing job on my makeup. It was 109 degrees, we got married outside and my makeup looked flawless throughout the entire evening. I felt beautiful which is exactly what I wanted for my wedding 😊. People continue to ask w...
ho did my makeup. Amanda also did my the makeup for both of my sisters who were also in the wedding. She traveled to our location and her prices were reasonable. I would not hesitate to use Amanda again and will definitely recommend her to others.
Amanda, Is an amazing, creative and loving make-up artist. A stellar professional.
She made my mom (the Mother-of-the groom) and I look phenomenal! My mom rarely wears make-up. Amanda coached her on how to prep her skin prior to the wedding to...
ensure the desired outcomes to her skin were revealed.
From our first consultation to executing our vision on the wedding day, she made my mom and me look beautiful. She happily traveled to our location and was generous and gracious in assisting my mom in restyle her hair (which was not on the agenda)!
I would absolutely recommend Amanda for any make-up engagement! You would be losing out on your best opportunity not to using her for your make-up visions!
Amanda, you are such a talented make-up artist! You made me feel like the most beautiful bride in the world! Thank you so much for working with me and making my day extra special by doing a look that made me feel beautiful! I can't thank you en...
ough! Definitely have you down for my brother's wedding to do my make up again! Can't wait!!💕 #happybride
Amanda was great! She was my last minute replacement for my makeup artist that flaked on me and she really came through. She came to me at my hotel to get me ready and even squeezed in a trial prior to the wedding. My makeup was gorgeous and m...
y bridesmaids looked beautiful too. I definitely recommend her services.
I can't even begin to express my gratitude for Amanda. Not only did she do an amazing job on all 12 of us (yes that's right 12!) she was able to do so with such short notice. When my original makeup artist flaked on me, Amanda stepped in and s...
aved the day, literally! She is very professional, on time, and is really passionate about her work. I loved her energy and enthusiasm! And best of all, we all looked flawless!!!!!
Amanda was fantastic. She made me feel pampered and knew what was perfect for my coloring and older skin. Her artistry made me look and feel beautiful. It was the perfect start to my day. I'll recommend her to everyone. I love her.
Amanda was awesome! She did my make up and I never looked or felt so beautiful! I would highly recommend her!
I had a lot of trouble finding an artist to do my makeup for my wedding day. A lot of trials were done and nothing really made me feel special. When I met with Amanda, we vibed right away. She has a great energy and knows how to collaborate wit...
h her client. A lot of things can go wrong on your wedding day, but your time to sit and be pampered should feel relaxing. Amanda was totally professional, but knew how to make the atmosphere fun for everyone.
Amanda was amazing on my wedding day! I was worried about someone being able to pay attention to my needs but she was attentive, knowledgeable and upbeat. She arrived on time and ready to get started on my bridesmaids and I. She got through ...
all of us promptly, while still making sure we were happy with our looks. We were all satisfied with the final result, and my makeup lasted all night long. I would most definitely reccomend her to anyone looking for a talented makeup artist.
It was a beautiful day and that's because Amanda did a great job of making me the most beautiful bride. Kudos Mandy makeup
